"Matches in the Olympic Village increased by 129 percent over the weekend, and the company expects that trend to continue, she said."

You might say that the village has becoming something of a Tinder ... hotbed.

The popularity of mobile dating apps at the Olympics was a big story in London in 2012 and continued in Sochi in 2014. It's no surprise, then, officials allocated roughly 450,000 condoms for athletes staying in the village this summer in Rio.

As a source told E! News (via Perez Hilton), Tinder is especially popular among athletes because it makes it easier for them to connect with each other:

"Many of the athletes prefer to meet other athletes on Tinder and other dating apps because that's easier, and then they do group dates with other athlete friends. Many of these women and men have been out of the dating game or never in the dating game before the Olympics, so it's a lot to take in for these athletes, especially after training so hard to be here."

One Olympian said he had 10 matches on his first day in Rio. That's more than some of us have ever had. From the AP:

"Marcus Nyman, a judoka in the men's 90-kilogram division from Sweden, said he got 10 matches on Tinder in the first day or so after he arrived in Rio.

"'A lot of the athletes here are using this app,' said Nyman, 25."

Other big-name athletes found to be active on Tinder in Rio include golfer Rickie Fowler and (in a shocking twist) swimmer Ryan Lochte.

Approximately 11,000 athletes are competing at the Olympics, and only 300 or so will win a medal. For everyone else, a match on Tinder here or there has to be a nice consolation prize.
